I'm curious what others have managed to put together as far as coil over set ups for syncros. I know there is lots of pretty and expensive options out there but for the non bolt-on/non-fat wallet crowd what have you come up with?

Looking for ideas as I prepare to finish off my syncro build later this year.

I had some upper spring perches made to adapt 2.5" springs up front and I built perches in the rear for the same springs.

When I do it again, I'll have lower spring perches made for the front that accept stock springs (like the FOX shocks) and just use spacers in the rear to give my my desired lift.

I don't remember if there are photos in my thread, but there could be. Also a lot of information and links I've posted in the archives.
